The initial physical process of hybridization is fairly straightforward, you take the pollen from the anthers of one hibiscus and transfer it to the stigma of another hibiscus. Like all things in nature this does not always work. Some are known to be good at seed setting and others are not, the same is true with pollen. The newer hibiscus cultivars don’t have as much data, so hybridizers attempt hybridization and share their results among the community. This cross was between ‘Metallic Butterfly’ x ‘Lava Rock’. Hopefully they will set seed and we will be able to create some new Hibiscus Cultivars! #hibiscus #hibiscusflower #tropicalplants #flowerfarm #garden #halekoatropicals #halekoahibiscus #hawaii #hibiscusfarm #lavarock #hybridization #howtogrowhibiscus #tropicalhibiscus #exotichibiscus #internationalhibiscussociety #ハイビスカス #гибискус #ibisco #hibiskus #hibisco
